This reunion wasn't as smooth as the one with the MCU's Thor.

After Joss Whedon left Marvel despite delivering the highest grossing films the franchise had to offer at the time, Kevin Feige moved to the Russo brothers for the next two Avengers films. Having previously transitioned from TV to the big screen with the success of Captain America: The Winter Soldier and later Civil War, it's easy to see why they were chosen to end the Infinity Saga.

This decision would prove to be a huge success for both the MCU and the Russos, as the Endgame duology not only made a gigantic amount at the box office, it was also critically acclaimed. But this wasn't the case when they teamed up with the MCU's Spider-Man for a 2021 crime thriller.

Since their departure from the MCU, the Russo Brothers have enjoyed success with their Extraction features on Netflix, which saw them team up with MCU star Chris Hemsworth. But their second chance to reunite with an MCU hero ended up going south, as Cherry, starring Tom Holland, failed to make it big with fans and critics when it was released in 2021.
